Thank You from Randa...

Jack’s at such an odd age. At times he seems like such a big boy and at others he’s still dealing with his emotions getting the better of him. One minute he’s arguing that the verse “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” means that he can so watch TV even though I’ve told him no, and the next minute he’s...

Here are a couple of recent videos. David is getting around great and learned to stand this weekend without pulling up on anything. David learning to walk from Randa Clay. It’s great to have a home that makes it easy for the boys to run in circles. We’ll probably have a worn out path through the dining room in another 10 years or so! Mark has been...

(click the image for full size) Not much growth this month, but lots of progress towards walking! David can take several steps and he thinks it’s really funny to launch out and crash down.

It’s all I can do to get 10-12 ounces into him per day, and...

Lots of old picturesque equipment sitting around the ranch: Mom shared her drink with the VERY pregnant donkey, and suddenly everyone wanted some: This guy interrupted...
